The Maghrib as a Social and Cultural Crossroads: Historicizing Maghribi Diversity and Identity<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Maghrib has a very long history of migration, colonization, settlement, and cultural synthesis. As part of the Mediterranean, the region experienced waves of immigrants \u2013 although researchers have rarely considered them as such \u2013 including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Jews, Vandals, Arabs, Andalusians, French and Italians. As part of Africa, the Maghrib was also linked to the rest of the continent through the trans-Saharan trade, which brought millions of West Africans to the Maghrib, mainly as captives. These West Africans included Mand\u00e9, Fulb\u00e9, Wolof, Songhay, Dogon, Hausa, and others. What are the surviving legacies of these waves of immigration? Do the peoples of the Maghrib see themselves as ethnically diverse? If so, what are the main components of that diversity?<\/p>\n

This conference will examine the long demographic and cultural history of the Maghrib. It will explore the processes through which diverse peoples forged related cultural and social identities, and the various meanings of those identities at different times and places. We define the Maghrib broadly, including all the North African countries West of Egypt, specifically Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania, but also much of the Sahara and historic Andalusia.<\/p>\n

Le Maghreb, carrefour social et culturel : historiciser la diversit\u00e9 et l\u2019identit\u00e9 maghr\u00e9bines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le Maghreb est marqu\u00e9 par une longue histoire de migrations, de colonisation, de peuplement et de m\u00e9tissage culturel. R\u00e9gion m\u00e9diterran\u00e9enne, le Maghreb a vu arriver au cours des si\u00e8cles des vagues de migrants \u2013 les chercheurs ne les consid\u00e9rant souvent pas comme tel \u2013 tels que des ph\u00e9niciens, grecs, romains, juifs, vandales, arabes, andalous, fran\u00e7ais et italiens. R\u00e9gion africaine, elle a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 en contact avec le reste du continent par les routes commerciales transsahariennes, \u00e0 travers lesquelles des millions d\u2019Ouest-Africains, principalement des captifs, ont afflu\u00e9 au Maghreb. On y compte par exemple des Mand\u00e9s, des Fulb\u00e9s, des Wolofs, des Songhays, des Dogons, des Hausas, entre autres. Quels sont les h\u00e9ritages contemporains de ces vagues d\u2019immigration ? Les populations du Maghreb se consid\u00e8rent-elles ethniquement diverses ? Et si oui, quels sont les \u00e9l\u00e9ments principaux de cette diversit\u00e9 ?<\/p>\n

La conf\u00e9rence a pour but l\u2019examen de la riche histoire d\u00e9mographique et culturelle du Maghreb. Elle explore les processus \u00e0 travers lesquels des peuples divers fa\u00e7onnent des identit\u00e9s sociales et culturelles entrem\u00eal\u00e9es et les diverses significations que rev\u00eatent ces identit\u00e9s \u00e0 travers le temps et l\u2019espace. Nous adoptons une d\u00e9finition large du Maghreb, qui comprend l\u2019ensemble des pays nord-africains \u00e0 l\u2019ouest de l\u2019Egypte, particuli\u00e8rement le Maroc, l\u2019Alg\u00e9rie, la Tunisie, la Libye, la Mauritanie, mais aussi la majorit\u00e9 du Sahara et de l\u2019Andalousie historique.<\/p>\n
